I have two words for you: Pumpkin. Mimosas. Oh yes, THIS IS HAPPENING.

The idea started last Halloween season. My goal for Halloween night was to whip up some pumpkin juice, combine it with some champagne and enjoy a horror movie.

Unfortunately, my body had other plans and instead I found myself sick in bed with a 102-degree fever. I guess Halloweenie Roast 2016 wore me out more than I thought.

So last month when I put together my perfect pumpkin juice, I decided to give pumpkin mimosas a try, and I was NOT disappointed.

They're the perfect blend of fall-in-a-glass and bubbly goodness.

Here's my recipe for pumpkin mimosas:

How to make pumpkin mimosas, Step by Step:

Mix up a batch of my perfect pumpkin juice and find a sparking wine on the sweeter side.

I used my every day go-to, an extra dry blend, because it’s what I had/what I prefer to drink, but I think a sweeter one would have made the drink even better.
